Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a paper softener composition, a method of treating paper with the softener composition and paper products treated with the softener composition.
Prior Art
In modern life, people have higher and higher requirements on softness of paper. Therefore, it is increasingly important to use suitable softeners to improve the softness of paper. Here, the "paper" particularly means a paper product for daily use such as wet tissue, handkerchief paper, napkin paper, beauty paper, box tissue, etc., which generally have certain requirements for softness, fluffy feeling, water absorption, etc.
Paper softener products are typically made from quaternary ammonium salts, lubricants, or silicones, and the like. They are typically applied to the surface of the paper by brushing, rolling or slurry addition.
For example, CN101509213A discloses a bisamide quaternary ammonium salt paper softener, and a preparation method and application thereof.
In addition, the effect of different cationic softeners on paper was compared in "the effect of different cationic softeners on the performance of household paper" by the Yankee company, et al (cellulose science and technology, Vol.23, No. 1, 3 months 2015). These cationic softeners include imidazolines, polyacrylamides, quaternary ammonium salts, fatty acid esters, and silicones, and the comparative results show that amino-containing silicone softeners have the best performance for softness.
However, in addition to the improvement in softness of paper, manufacturers of paper, particularly wet wipes, are also paying more attention to the skin-friendly property of paper after treatment with a softener (particularly, the skin is easily irritated in the case of an amino group-containing silicone compound), and how to increase the amount of the softener to be applied to reduce the production cost and save raw materials, while keeping softness and strength of paper as low as possible.
In another document CN103061204B, a softener emulsion composition is disclosed which comprises inter alia diorganopolysiloxane, monohydric or polyhydric alcohol-containing humectant and thickener. The recommended coating amount of the softener emulsion composition is 1% to 20% based on the weight of the base paper, and a thickener must be included in the composition. Furthermore, this document does not disclose any specific diorganopolysiloxane compound.
In addition, a novel piperidinyl organosiloxane is disclosed in US 5721297A. However, the only use of said organosiloxanes as light-and UV-resistant stabilizers for polymeric substrates, such as polyethylene or polydienes, is in this document.
Summary of The Invention
In view of the above-mentioned object, the present application provides a softener composition according to claim 1, which comprises a combination of a specific aminopolysiloxane with a monohydric or polyhydric alcohol in a specific quantity ratio. Surprisingly, the inventors of the present application have found that with such a softener composition, improvement in softness and increase in coating amount can be achieved without impairing the strength of paper. In particular, the application amount of the softener composition can be increased to an amount of 20% or more on the basis of the paper without adding additives for improving viscosity, such as thickeners.
Furthermore, according to the softener composition of the present invention, since a combination of an aminopolysiloxane and a monohydric or polyhydric alcohol in a specific ratio is used, the improvement of softness under the synergistic effect of these two components is more effective than in the case of a polysiloxane system alone or an alcohol system alone. Further, the softener composition according to the invention enables the paper treated therewith to still maintain good water absorbency, be less prone to yellowing and have good skin substantivity.
In another aspect, the present application is also directed to a method of processing paper.
Finally, the present application relates to a paper product obtained according to the above-mentioned method.
Detailed Description
Aminopolysiloxanes (also commonly referred to as amino silicone oils) are known as softeners for paper treatment. Such an amino-modified organosilicon compound is a polysiloxane having an amino group in a side chain or a terminal group thereof. Because oxygen atoms in the siloxane bonds in the main chain can be adsorbed on the fiber surface, hydrophobic groups can be directionally arranged along the fiber surface of the paper, and a hydrophobic and stretchable continuous film is formed on the hydrophobic and stretchable continuous film, so that the paper is softer. However, the conventional amino polydimethylsiloxane is irritant to skin and eyes, and meanwhile, the treated paper is easy to yellow under high temperature and external conditions, so that the shelf life of the treated paper is shortened. The water absorption properties of the treated paper are significantly reduced due to the water repellency of the polysiloxane film.
However, the inventors of the present application have found that when a specific aminopolysiloxane as described below is used in combination with a monohydric or polyhydric alcohol, in particular a polyol compound such as glycerol, a further significant improvement in softness and a large increase in coating weight can be achieved while maintaining mechanical properties without being impaired or even improved. In addition, the treated paper keeps the water absorption of the base paper, and the treated paper towel is not easy to yellow and discolor and has good skin affinity.
Thus, the softener composition according to the invention comprises, based on the total weight of the composition:

wherein the weight ratio of the aminopolysiloxane to the monohydric or polyhydric alcohol is from 0.2 to 0.001.
In an advantageous embodiment according to the invention, the preferred aminopolysiloxanes of formula (I) satisfy at least one of the following conditions:
p and r are each independently 1 to 1000, such as 2 to 800; q is 1 to 30; the sum of p + r + q is 10-2000, more preferably 100-; r and R1Independently of one another, methyl, ethyl, propylMethoxy, ethoxy or hydroxy; r2Represents ethylene, propylene, butylene, pentylene or hexylene; r3Represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as a methyl group, an ethyl group or a propyl group; and/or Z represents-O-or-NR8-, wherein R8Is a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl or propyl.
In a more preferred embodiment, R and R in the aminopolysiloxanes of formula (I)1Independently of one another, from methyl, ethyl, methoxy or hydroxy, more preferably methyl; r2Represents ethylene, propylene or butylene, more preferably propylene; z represents-O-; and/or R3Represents a hydrogen atom.
The aminopolysiloxanes of formula (I) according to the invention can be prepared from organosiloxane compounds of the following formula (II):
wherein p, q, R, R and R1Have the corresponding meanings as given above for the compounds of the formula (I). Preference is given here, as starting material, to compounds of the formula (II) in which at least one radical R is present1Is CH3。
Such compounds of formula (II) are readily commercially available.
The hydrogen atom of the compound (II) being substituted by a group of the formula (III)
And optionally by a group R1The substitution of (b) can be achieved by reacting the organosiloxane (II) with a compound having a vinyl double bond which is liable to undergo a hydrosilylation reaction in the presence of a catalyst.
Thus, such a compound would be the group (III) or the group R1Of (4) an unsaturated precursor of (a).
Specific non-limiting R1Examples of unsaturated precursors of (A) are 1-Octene, 1-dodecene and 1-octadecene.

It is also possible to use groups R which contain vinyl double bonds2Via hydrosilylation on the ≡ Si-H moiety, followed by R here2To introduce 2,2,6, 6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl thereon, thereby forming the following structural unit:
the synthetic routes for the different compounds of formula (I) according to the invention can be varied and are not restricted here. For example, the person skilled in the art can refer to and modify the synthesis of the piperidyl organosiloxanes described in the prior art US5721297A to obtain compounds of formula (I) having the desired structure. US5721297A is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The aminopolysiloxanes of formula (I) which are particularly suitable according to the invention are commercially available here as BLUESIL FLD21650, BLUESIL FLD 21653, BLUESIL FLD 21654, etc.
In particular, the inventors of the present application have found that, when the aminopolysiloxanes of formula (I) according to the invention are included in the composition, in addition to maintaining the mechanical properties without impairment and achieving a further significant improvement in softness, the aminopolysiloxanes of formula (I) can lead to better water absorption and improved resistance to yellowing of the treated paper, in particular also bringing about good skin substantivity, compared to other commonly used aminosilicones. It is therefore preferred that the composition of the invention comprises only the aminopolysiloxane of formula (I) as silicone component, while the content of other organosilicon compounds, in particular of other aminopolysiloxanes, does not exceed 5% by weight, preferably does not exceed 2% by weight, more preferably does not exceed 1% by weight, and especially preferably does not exceed 0.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.
As another component of the softener composition of the invention, a monohydroxy or polyhydroxy alcohol compound is used. Suitable monohydric or polyhydric alcohols are understood within the scope of the present invention as compounds having on average one or more hydroxyl groups per molecule, preferably aliphatic or polyether alcohols.
In one advantageous embodiment, suitable monohydroxy or polyhydroxy alcohol compounds may be of the formula A- (OH)z,
Wherein z represents an integer of 1 to 6, preferably 1 to 4, more preferably 2 to 3;
a represents an aliphatic group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, preferably 2 to 8 carbon atoms, more preferably 3 to 8 carbon atoms, such as an alkyl group, or represents a polyether segment having a molecular weight of 40-1600.
Preferably, the polyether segments are aliphatic polyether segments, preferably selected from segments having from 4 to 25 polyoxyethylene and/or polyoxypropylene groups.
Here, the position of the hydroxyl group is not limited, and it may be at the end or lateral of the group a.
Preferably, examples of the monohydric or polyhydric alcohol compounds according to the present invention include ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol, heptanol, octanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, diethylene glycol, trimethylolpropane, hexanediol, polyether polyols such as polyoxyethylene or polyoxypropylene diols or triols, and the like. Preferably, the monohydric or polyhydric alcohol compound is selected from ethylene glycol, trimethylolpropane, propylene glycol and/or glycerol. The inventors of the present application have found that if glycerol (glycerin) is used in the composition as the monohydroxy or polyhydroxy alcohol component in the composition, this can result in better softness, smoothness and moisture retention of the paper after treatment.
Thus, in a particularly preferred embodiment, the monohydric or polyhydric alcohol component comprises at least 95 wt.%, preferably at least 98 wt.%, more preferably at least 99 wt.%, particularly preferably 99.5 wt.% or even 100 wt.% of glycerol.
Further, in order to achieve the above effects of the present invention, the weight ratio of the aminopolysiloxane to the polyol component must be in the range of 0.001 to 0.2. If the weight ratio is outside this range, it results in deterioration of the hand of the treated paper and lowering of the moisturizing property, and may even affect the mechanical properties and the coating amount thereof. Advantageously, the weight ratio of the aminopolysiloxane to the monohydric or polyhydric alcohol is controlled in the range from 0.001 to 0.2, preferably from 0.002 to 0.15, more preferably from 0.005 to 0.10, particularly preferably from 0.01 to 0.08. Within the most preferred ranges and preferably in combination with the substantial use of glycerol as the monohydric or polyhydric alcohol component, the treated paper is capable of exhibiting the best overall properties.
Furthermore, in an advantageous embodiment, an emulsifier may also be included in the softener composition according to the invention to form a stable emulsion, facilitating the coating of paper. Such emulsifiers may be nonionic emulsifiers and cationic emulsifiers. Examples of suitable nonionic emulsifiers include the polyoxyethylene ethers of fatty alcohols, such as polyoxyethylene ethers having 4 to 50 oxyalkylene units, sorbitol esters and the like, for example polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, polyethylene sorbitol ether, polyoxyethylene glycerol ether and the isomeric tridecanol polyoxyethylene ethers and the like. Examples of cationic emulsifiers are emulsifiers of the quaternary ammonium type, such as alkyltrimethylammonium chlorides, dialkyldimethylammonium chlorides and alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides.
The viscosity of the composition generally has a large influence on the liquid application amount (i.e., the coating amount). Too low a viscosity adversely affects the adhesion of the coating composition to the surface of the coating roll, while too high a viscosity causes too poor fluidity to deteriorate the uniformity of coating. Thus, it is common in the art to add a certain amount of thickener to the softener composition to adjust the viscosity. However, the addition of thickeners can affect the hand of the paper product and also affect the bacterial stability of the formulation. Thus, in the present invention, it is preferred that the composition comprises less than 0.1 wt%, more preferably less than 0.05 wt%, most preferably no thickener at all. Such thickeners as polyacrylic, cellulosic, alginate and guar thickeners.
The softener composition according to the invention may contain, in addition to those components mentioned above, other additives, for example 0.01-0.3% by weight of an acid for adjusting the pH, such as citric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, hydrochloric acid, etc., and for example 0.01-0.1% by weight of a perfume for adjusting the odor. It is preferred within the scope of the invention to add those acids which are used to adjust the pH, thereby further making the treated paper milder to the skin, while also contributing to the improved emulsion stability of the composition.
Typically, in the present invention, the amount of further additives comprised in the composition, in addition to the aminopolysiloxanes of formula (I) and mono-or polyhydric alcohols and, if necessary, water, is not more than 20% by weight, preferably less than 15% by weight or less than 10% by weight, more preferably less than 5% by weight or 1% by weight or 0.5% by weight or 0.1% by weight.
A second aspect of the invention relates to a process for the preparation of said softener composition.
The softener compositions of the invention can be formulated in a simple manner by mixing the individual components with one another in the amounts indicated and stirring them thoroughly to form a stable emulsion.
In yet another aspect, the present application is directed to a method of softening paper. The treatment process is a post-finishing process, such as spraying, roll coating, printing, and the like. For example, the softener composition according to the invention can be applied directly to the surface of the paper to be treated by the above method, can be applied during the rolling or rewinding process of the paper or other processes.
In an advantageous embodiment of the paper softening process, the softener composition as described above is applied to the surface of the paper in an amount of more than 20%, preferably 25-35% by weight of the paper on a basis. Preferably, the surface distribution of the paper after coating is 0.01g/m per square meter2-3.2g/m2Preferably 0.04 to 2g/m2And 0.5-9g/m of an aminopolysiloxane2Preferably 1 to 9g/m2A hydroxyl group of (a).
Finally, the present application relates to a paper product obtained according to the above-mentioned method.

Each evaluator touched the treated tissue and scored the softness of the differently treated tissue from the softest to the softest. The slipperiness and wet feel of the tissue were evaluated in a similar manner. For each performance, the sample with the worst feel was scored as 1, and more preferably, as 5.
The results of the tests are tabulated for all evaluators and for all samples and the average value of each property is calculated, the higher the value the better the softness, smoothness or wet feel.
The test data for all of the above properties are listed in table 2 below.
(ii) Water absorption test of paper towel
a) The processed paper towel is laid on the table top,
b) dropping a drop of water onto the paper towel with a standard dropper, spreading the drop of water on the paper towel until the drop of water stops spreading, recording the time of the complete spreading,
c) repeat the operation more than 5 times, take the average (second).
The higher the value, the worse the water absorption.
(iii) Paper towel whiteness test
a) The paper towel was folded in half twice to obtain 4 sheets. The whiteness values of 4 paper surfaces were measured with a colorimeter. The same operation is performed on the other side of the towel. The average whiteness value M0 of 8 faces was taken.
b) The paper towel was heated at 170 ℃ for 2 minutes, taken out and left at room temperature for 2 hours.
c) The baked towels were tested for whiteness value M1 according to step a).
d) According to the formulaCalculating the whiteness of the paper towelThe lower the reduction rate M, the better the yellowing resistance.
(iv) Skin substantivity test of paper
The products were tested according to the procedure described in the cosmetic hygiene code (department of health, 2007) (GB7919-87 cosmetic safety evaluation procedure and method), and skin substantivity was evaluated mainly on the basis of skin irritation test results, skin allergy test results, and skin phototoxicity test results. The lack of irritation, allergic response and phototoxic response is defined as good substantivity.
